DON CHALANT holds the edge on the form of his Navan bumper second and is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Leopardstown runner-up Golden Wonder's, who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Newcomer Great Name That is not without interest either, especially if the market vibes are positive.
